也談大陸人 加拿大, 北京, 香港, 朋友

mamayaya

其實我就是在大陸長大的大陸人，但是多年前已經移居香港，後來又移民加拿大，算起來，在大陸生活的年頭相等於out of country的時間，但是從感覺上講，香港對我來說還是親切滴（本人可以講流利廣府話，當然還有國語）。如今，在加拿大見到大陸人我並不感到親切，反而有些怕怕（提防），尤其一口北京口音的，我更是閉緊了嘴，沒有興趣與其搭訕，而真 能坐在一起聊個痛快的，還是香港人。多年前，我曾幫一位親戚的孩子移民來此地，又是幫她找律師，又是幫她settle down，帶她認識朋友，甚至為她買電腦，傢俱等等，結果如何？她找到工作並結婚以後，跟我們完全斷絕關係，還到處去說移民是她自己辦成的，云云。朋友告訴我，這對大陸人來説並不奇怪，見的多了。沒有辦法啊，中國大陸的道德教育水平，你不可能要求他們什麼了。唯有避之則吉。

咁就錯了，因为同曰在Tim Hortons门口与一位生鬚的"女子"擦身而過，那个给我第一个感觉正是TIFFIANT！

今天去Mall買鞋，遇上一位样貌年似50有多，語帶鄉音的呀嬸，上身只黑色薄衣，下配緊身黑超短裙同魚網襪褲，她選中了一对新款金色露踭鞋，试穿了一会儿，便走入收銀櫃枱后边，拉高短裙，露出整條黑底，继而把魚網襪褲 ...

dun worry that much on those kind of stupid businessmen.. frankly what they did is just scare customers away...
if they don't wanna do TW/HK .. they're just limiting their source of customers...

nobody can't survive for only 1 pool of customers alone.

lately the issue of "where are you from?" has come up many times for me..

my husband and I were furniture shopping and some shops were owned by those from the mainland...my husband is taiwanese and and I am from HK. So whenever we enter a shop, they immediately speak mandarin and when they've heard mine or my husband's 口音, they would immediately ask us where we're from. if we say we're from TW...the sales usually leave us alone and tell us to take a look around. If we say we're from HK, they just walk away! but then another pair of customers come in, they are clearly from China and the sales run up to them and follow them and really sell hard!

I guess us TW and HKers aren't spending enough nowadays?

This is a taboo I try to avoid whenever possible

Most HK ppl can now speak Canto & mandarin, as well as English, of course

totally agree of bluntbro said!

it's the person, not the race.
Always there r some good & some bad ppl in a region. I think we as a human race  should always bear in mind that culture differences need time & patience to get along & understanding more for each other...

Mainlanders vs. Hong'ers vs. Taiwanese, the topic is always a taboo on a dinner table, let alone if you have a room of all visitors the "three shores". Interestingly, it is thoroughly known by many that the Chinese are the best at war - between themselves. on contrary, discrimination, differentiation, happens in the States and even locally. East Coast vs. West Coast, north vs. south. The difference is always first led by geographical. I have friends, acquaintances, from north to south of China. Personally, there are certainly differences in each aspects from where these guys are from, the culture they live from. But in preference of likeness, it is still boiling down to who you are, rather than where you from.  Deep down inside each of them is still this naked soul, and how they present themselves with ones character, value, and personality. The thought that a person in Beijing would be more distinct in feeling for me, than the one whose from HK? I wouldn't know. Perhaps that's the benefit of my lack of experience in residing in China, I wouldn't be able to catch up with the political side as one who has that burden of knowing such.   
So wassup with those from Beijing?

Americans regularly pretend to be Canadians when they are abroad. Perhaps us HKers should identify ourselves as Mainland Chinese when we're abroad as well? That way, they'll know we're polite, and they'll think we're rich as well~
